ECOSENSE RHE50

The 212 therms figure is computed by this site and is not taken from the registry. It combines the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.8 with the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The UEF comes from the DOE CCD registry, retrieved 2026-09-19. The comparison group is the 414 models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern. Within that group, this model is in the lowest quarter for energy use. The figure describes the test's daily draw, not a measured household bill. The data does not give this model's gas use at a smaller or larger daily draw. The page on how the annual cost is calculated sets out each step from rating to cost.

The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For that use, the model lists a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 87 gallons. Its rated volume is 46 gallons. A plumber or seller checking a match can compare those two figures with the unit already in place. The same-class replacement search by model number lists other gas tank models at the high draw pattern. A household with lighter daily use falls outside the condition behind the 212 therms figure. For that case, this page has no energy figure, and the 29th place in its class does not carry over.

The running cost is not written in this text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, applied to the 212 therms a year at the high draw pattern. The page computes it from your ZIP, and the cost calculator for your own ZIP runs that calculation for any ZIP you enter. This model uses 48 therms less than its class median, so the cost gap to a median model also depends on your rate. An installed price range is not published for this model. Its ratings lie outside the range the cost database's model was fitted on, and the range is not stretched past it. The installed price is therefore unknown here.
